Paul McAnulty has signed a minor league deal with the Red Sox, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune. Boston's scouting director (Jason McLeod) said, "It's not often that you get to sign a guy as an amateur and a minor-league free agent. I think he fits a lot of what we look for in the American League. If he comes in and wins a major league job, I think his swing will work for our ballpark. He's going to fight for a spot on our bench left field and maybe first base. He really wanted to come here."He has a shot to make Boston's roster in 2009, as he does a good job of getting on base and has favorable power.
The Red Sox have reportedly signed Paul McAnulty to a minor league contract. McAnulty, sort of a Matt Stairs-lite, has hit .208/.324/.330 in 212 at-bats with the Padres over the last four years. He's been an excellent OBP guy in the minors and he has 20-homer power, but given that he turns 28 next spring, he could be running out of time to establish himself. If he makes the Red Sox, it will likely be as the last man on the bench.Source: San Diego Union-Tribune Related: Red Sox
